Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive numerical modeling analysis aimed at designing optimal stope and
pillar geometries for the underground mining of the East Deposit of Kheratarla Wollastonite & Calcite
Mine. Using ITASCA's IMAT software powered by FLAC3D, the study constructs a detailed 3D model
that simulates critical stress distributions within the rock mass, enabling a precise assessment of various
stope geometries' stability. The results provide a robust framework supporting a safe and efficient
transition to underground mining.
